Straight from rails4.0 documentation: 
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/ConnectionAdapters/SchemaStatements.html

Creating an index with a specific method 

add_index(:developers, :name, using: 'btree')

generates:

CREATE INDEX index_developers_on_name ON developers USING btree (name) -- 
PostgreSQLCREATE INDEX index_developers_on_name USING btree ON developers 
(name) -- MySQL

Note: only supported by PostgreSQL and MySQL
